Ashley III 50; Tinker 1457. Spine darker green than the covers though not at all noticeable in the four compartments that are almost solidly gilt front joint a little rubbed and with two-inch thin crack at top final leaf of ads with repaired curving two-inch tear into text isolated small stains or faint foxing but still very attractive--clean and fresh internally in a very lustrous binding sparkling with gilt.<br/> <br/> This is a handsomely bound copy of Lamb's largely autobiographical essays that embrace the broad subject of mankind at large as seen through the author's own experience and impressions. As Oxford Companion says Lamb's essays "present with exquisite humor and pathos and in a brilliant and inimitable style characters that the author has known . . . the productions of a playful or melancholy fancy . . . and general comments and criticism." The name "Elia" as Lamb says was "clapt down" on these essays in honor of a fellow clerk at South Sea House a building of commercial offices and the subject of the first essay. A second collection "The Last Essays of Elia" appeared in 1833. Charles Lamb 1775-1834 worked in the office of the East India Company and wrote poetry essays and plays. With his sister Mary he was the author of "Tales of Shakespeare" a flowing and lucid prose rendition of 20 of the bard's dramas that helped rekindle 19th century interest in the plays. The strikingly attractive binding done in an elaborately gilt style reminiscent of the Roger Payne era is the work of Riviere one of the foremost names among English binderies partly because the firm did consistently fine work and partly because it was so long in business. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829 then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881 he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son and the bindery continued to do business under the Riviere name until 1939 when it was acquired by Bayntun.

Title page printed in blue and red. Eckel pp. 146-47; Podeschi B-121. Sheila M. Smith "John Overs to Charles Dickens: A Working-Man's Letter and Its Implications" Victorian Studies 18 no. 2 1974: 195–217. Spine just slightly sunned though hard to tell because of the heavy gilt a few trivial spots internally but A VERY FINE COPY in quite a pretty binding.<br/> <br/> This attractively bound volume of a working class poet's verse and prose represents one of Dickens' charitable efforts in the spirit of social reform. A carpenter by trade John Overs 1808-44 had become acquainted with Dickens in 1839 when he submitted poetry for publication in "Bentley's Miscellany" then under Dickens' editorship. Over the next several years Dickens became a literary mentor and something of a friend to Overs providing writing advice lending books and helping Overs to secure a position at Drury Lane Theatre when his tuberculosis became too severe to continue his work as a carpenter. Literary scholar Sheila M. Smith has suggested that Overs may have served as an influence for "The Chimes" Dickens' penultimate Christmas book; she writes that Overs "was neither a political agitator nor a trade unionist. . . yet he was bitter and exulting in the idea of social revolution. A working man of this kind goaded to such feelings would have aroused Dickens's sympathy at a period when the novelist was experiencing his most violent indignation about his country's poor." To whatever degree that sympathy proved a literary inspiration for Dickens it directly led to the publication of the present work. When it was clear by the spring of 1844 that Overs would not survive his illness Dickens suggested to him that he publish a collection of his writings to help provide for his family after his passing. And so the present anthology was published only months before Overs' death on September 28 1844 with the proceeds from the book along with an additional charitable collection taken up by the publisher allowing his widow to make a living by opening a small milliner's shop.

The two volumes with a total of four plates 20 illustrations in the text and more than 100 fine steel-engraved headpieces and tailpieces after designs mostly by J. M. W. Turner and Thomas Stothard. Italy with A HANDWRITTEN NOTE SIGNED BY ROGERS bound in at front. Ray 13 15. Spines evenly sunned to a light brown as usual with green morocco a hint of sunning to top inch of three covers faint offsetting from engravings other trivial imperfections but A FINE SET clean and fresh internally IN LUSTROUS UNWORN BINDINGS.<br/> <br/> In handsome morocco finished by one of the finest binders of the day this is an extremely appealing set of two poetic works with illustrations of considerable interest. Born in 1859 finisher Charles McLeish was apprenticed to Andrew Grieve in Edinburgh then came to London to work for the prestigious Riviere firm. When Cobden-Sanderson founded the Doves Bindery in 1893 he hired McLeish as the firm's finisher; McLeish held that estimable position until 1909 when he left to go into partnership with his son also named Charles who had apprenticed under Roger de Coverly. McLeish's expertise in applying the gilt decoration to bindings is evident here in the intricate tooling of the spine compartments which required applying individual small tools dozens of times and doing so with such exactness that only the most careful inspection will spot a couple of minute variations between one compartment and another.<br /> <br /> The scion of a wealthy banking family Samuel Rogers 1763-1855 first achieved fame with the publication in 1792 of "The Pleasures of Memory." After Italian travels during which he met Shelley and Byron in Pisa Rogers produced a first version of "Italy" in 1822 and issued a sequel in 1826 both of which sold poorly. He destroyed the unsold copies revised the poems and published them at his own expense in the present edition of 1830 our first volume embellished this time by illustrations. These were the work of two artists with very different propensities--Stothard 1755-1834 who did demure figure scenes and Turner 1775-1851 who provided landscape vignettes. The success of this edition was perhaps due as much to the artists as to the poet. <br /> <br /> Britannica describes Rogers as a "witty conversationalist" who "maintained an influential position as a leading figure in London society and as a generous host to brilliant company." Bound in here is an invitation to tea at his lovely home at 22 St James's Place: "Dear Katherine / If you & Miss Mallet / & Wm. have nothing better to do / pray come & drink tea with me / next Sunday the earlier the better. / Yours very truly Saml Rogers / St. James's Place / Thursday Evg." It is possible "Katherine" was London socialite Katherine Jane Canning daughter of British diplomat Stratford Canning 1st Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe; Rogers inscribed a copy of the 1845 edition of his poems to her according to auction records.

A few faint smudges internally if you look hard to find them but A VERY FINE COPY extremely fresh and clean in a gleaming binding.<br/> <br/> This is an especially opulent production in a memorable binding from a major publisher of bibliophile editions. Our binder Durvand 1852-1924 operated one of the finest workshops in turn-of-the-century Paris and trained a number of talented artisans. In 1900 he was awarded a silver medal for his bindings at the Universal Exhibition and according to Flety he was devoted to improving the craft of binding right up to his death. Here the rich texture of the profusely used blind and gilt decoration creates the wonderful effect of a gleaming temple emerging from the shadow of a dense forest. This sumptuous covering is well-suited to the book's contents comprising vivid descriptions of life in the exotic Far East by an author familiar with the region. Lawyer and judge Paul-Louis Rivière 1873-1959 specialized in French colonial law and spent time living in Siam now Thailand. The richly colored plates are by noted Orientalist painter Joseph de La Nézière 1873–1944 who travelled widely in North Africa and the Far East. While he is known primarily for his landscapes and portraits this is apparently the only book that La Nézière illustrated. One of just a dozen deluxe copies ours includes three complete suites of the illustrations two beautifully colored with pochoir with glowing buttery light being used to great effect. The original watercolor frontispiece is especially lovely the scene of boaters at sunrise gleaming with the rising sun on the graceful palms and shimmering water. As lovely as the binding and the illustrations are the dazzling condition here is one further recommendation for the book. L'Édition d'Art, H. Piazza unknown‎

Front pastedown with morocco ex-libris of Alfred Barmore Maclay. Foxon S-562; Hayward 158; Rothschild 1932; Schwerdt II 166. ◆Leather on spine uniformly sunned to olive brown as expected with green morocco text perhaps lightly washed and pressed in keeping with bibliophilic fashion at the time of binding occasional faint marginal smudges otherwise fine internally and in a very lustrous binding with no signs of wear.<br/> <br/> This is the first edition of the most popular work by Somerville 1675-1742 a mock-heroic poem about hunting in an apt and very striking binding by a renowned English workshop. Divided into four books of Miltonic blank verse "The Chace" is considered to be one of the finest didactic poems of the first half of the 18th century. The text covers hounds and their kennels along with the hunting of hare fox and otter and there are digressions that bring in methods of the chase in exotic localities. Most of the hunts described are accompanied by dogs and set in England past or present but the poet occasionally strays far afield to describe lion stalking or the hunting habits of Genghis Khan. According to Schwerdt the book was "highly approved of by the first literary characters of his day." The extraordinarily handsome binding by Riviere incorporates the hunting motif with four stags appearing to chase one another around the covers. Riviere is one of the foremost names in English binding partly because the firm did consistently fine work and partly because it was so long in business. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829 then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881 he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son and the bindery continued to do business until 1939. Our volume comes from the library of Alfred Barmore Mackay 1871-1944 who after a very brief career at his family's bank devoted himself to collecting books art and antiques engaging in equestrian sports and designing a sumptuous garden at his Florida estate now a state park.
